"We are really considering it," he added. Although Kojima spoke through a translator, there's a great bit in the video where first he hears the words "Zone of the Enders" in English and breaks into a huge grin.

Asked what he would do once he's finished with Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker on PSP and overseeing Metal Gear Solid: Rising for PS3 and Xbox 360, Kojima said he wouldn't be able to wait that long to get going.

"It would be kind of too late if I start thinking about after I finish Peace Walker and Rising, I'll probably have to plan before," he explained.

"But I always want to do my next original title, and that's always on my mind. And as I said before, I could kind of produce some other titles such as Zone of the Enders, and I would like to plan that - doing the producer side and also creating my own original new title."

Elsewhere, Kojima discussed Peace Walker and his plans for co-op - specifically how close proximity between the two-to-four players involved allows them to swap items and even share health.
